What is your ROI on a nice dinner at a restaurant? What’s your ROI on tickets to a Broadway show? A vacation?

Not everything worthwhile in life has an ROI. There are some things we pay for just for the experience.

I want my child who has proven themselves to be curious and intellectually motivated to have interesting professors, small class sizes, and fascinating peers. I want them to be able to dive deep into courses for the sake of their personal growth, not just professional money making aspirations. They will probably continue on to grad school, and hopefully for the rest of their life they will get more enjoyment  out of the books they read and their life experiences overall.

This is a luxury, but it is one we choose to spend on. Buying a condo would not provide what we are looking to provide our young adult in their formative years. I am not aware of any state school with class sizes as small as LAC schools like Midd.

Good luck to all young people and their families making difficult decisions about where to study. There are many ways to measure ROI, and they don’t all involve numbers and dollars. [/quote]
